CARBURETING- APPARATUS.

To all whom 'it may concern:

k ."Belitknown that I, WILLY WINTER, a ab'ectxoffthe German Emperor, andresidela` at elsr. Belgium, have invented c` w` Andxfuseful Improvementsin mgApparatiis."

as,k ing a high point of elnullition,` WTMQGCB is characterized in itsnovelty carbureting devices as well as the devices `:tor distributingthe air and for compensating the pressure are freely suspended in thereceptacle adapted to receive the reheated air and consequently aresubjected to the same on all sides by hot air which is conducted from anozzle like flared out pipe against the bottom of the carburetingvessel.

In the accompanying drawing: Figure 1 is a general view of the apparatusin combination with bellows serving to compress the air to be carburetedon a hot air motor actuating the bellows; Figs. 2 and 3 show the specialconstruction of the air receiver. Fig. 4 shows the carbureting vesseland Fig. 5 the device for introducing the air into the carburetingliquid. Fig. 6 is a sectional view on line 6-6 of Fig. 2.

In an air receiver 2 which is tightly closed by means of a cover 1 twovessels or receptacles 3 and 4 shaped each like a cylinder segment arearranged opposite each other in such a manner that they are on all sidesat a certain distance or interval from the wall as well as from thebottom and the cover of the receptacle 2. These vessels are tightlyclosed by means of covers.

Bellows 5 which are actuated by a hot air motor through the medium of aconnecting rod 7 delivers compressed air through a duct 8 passingthrough the cover 1 and provided with a stop cock 9 into the chamber 3wherefrom it is conveyed into the chamber 4 by a pipe 10 which passesoutside under the bottom of the receptacle 1. Both chambers 3 and 4 arefilled with glass beads or the like the object of which is to finelydivide the air and to neutralize in this manner the pressure shocksproduced by the operation of the bellows 5. The pipe 10 passes over theescape opening of a pipe 11 (Fig. l) through which the combustion gasesof the heating flame of the hot air motor escape. Thus a preliminaryheating of the air passing through the pipe 10 is obtained.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed January 25, 1911.

Patented Sept. 26, 1911. serial No. 604,647.

The previously heated air passes from the receptacle 4 through a pipe 12in the inner space proper 13 of the receptacle 2 between the twochambers 3 and 4 and besides into the interval cited above which asstated is left between the walls of the receptacle 2 and the pressurecompensating chambers 3 and 4. The carbureting vessel 14 is suspended inthe receptacle through an opening provided in the center of its cover 1in such manner that carbureting vessel is enveloped bythhated air.A-`The carbureting vessel is ver bymeans of a ring 15 y p ring made ofany suitable materlal an "not sho'wnfinthe drawing being interposed: Thepipe-lltvhich conveys the air from the receptao1e4-opens out under thereceptacle 14 and i`s""lia`re`d as shown; From the space 13 the heatedairlis conveyed by a pipe 16 provided with a stop cock 17 into thecarbureting vessel 14 where it escapes through a distributing device 18dipping into the carbureting liquid for instance benzine. The saiddistributing device is formed of a receptacle 19 shaped hke a doublecone and is screwed by means of a screw threaded part 2O on thecorresponding part of pipe 16 which has also been screw threaded. Theupper conical part of said distributing device is provided with aplurality of sieve like openings 21. Secured to the outside threads ofthe screw threaded part 20 is a kind of bell 22 the lower border ofwhich is also provided Vwith sieve like apertures 23. The lower openpart of this bell is covered with wire gauze 24. The sieve openingsmentioned above may have a diderent width and be arranged more or lessclose to each other; their object essentially consists in obtaining anextremely fine and uniform division of the air escaping through the pipe16 and entering the carbureting liquid.

The air saturated with Vaporized carbureting liquid is taken off andconveyed to the point of consumption by a pipe 25 connected through thecover of the carburetor and provided with a stop cock 26. A pipe 27(Figs. 1, 4) branched on said pipe 25 and provided with cocks 28 and 29leads to the heating flame of the hot air motor. The end of the pipe 25projects into the receptacle.

Air is carbureted in the carbureter only in proportion to the volume ofgas taken from the carbureting vessel. If for instance the ducts 25, 27are closed by means ofthe cocks 26, 28 no air is allowed to pass throughthe pipe 16 and the distributing device 18 connected therewith and toflow into the carbureting vessel, the air being in a compressed stateand opposing thus a natural resistance to the arrival of fresh air. Onlywhen one of the cocks 26 or 28 is opened the pressure decreases in thecarbureting vessel to such a degree that new quantities of air canarrive from the receptacle 2. As readily seen the carburetion of gas isalways controlled automatically exactly according to the requirements ofthe moment. The carbureting liquid is introduced into the receptacle 14by means of a pipe 33 (Figs. 1 and 4) which may be closed by a cock 32and the lower end of which is in contact with the level of the liquidand is drawn out to a very small diameter.

For the purpose of allowing the observation of the level of carburetingliquid, a"

window or opening 34 and 35 has beengproAny vided in the wall ofe/a/ch'of the receptacles 2 and 14, these 4 windows being positioneddirectly behind/each other. Thereservoir 36 contains the cooling water`for the motor.
